The White Lotus Season 3’s jewelry store robbers reveal hints at a tragic fate for this fan-favorite character

The White Lotus Season 3’s penultimate episode finally solved a long-standing mystery that had been bugging the audience for weeks. In the second episode of the season, a robbery took place at the resort, where two unidentified men entered the hotel boutique and stole some expensive jewelry pieces at gunpoint.

The identity of the thieves remained a mystery until episode 7, when it was revealed that Valentin’s Russian friends, Aleksei and Vlad, carried out the heist. The three are confirmed to be dangerous men who got involved with the trio of Jaclyn, Laurie, and Kate for their money.

With the reveal, Laurie particularly seems to be in danger. Played by Carrie Coon, the character has become a fan-favorite during the course of the season due to her redeemable qualities. However, her involvement with Aleksei in the previous episode might cause a grave problem for her in The White Lotus Season 3 finale.

How involvement with the jewelry store robbers could cost Laurie in The White Lotus Season 3 finale

In The White Lotus Season 3 Episode 7, Laurie had a fallout with her friends after days of tension. She was upset with Jaclyn for sleeping with Valentin and threw insults at her friends, who told her to take charge of her life instead of making mountains out of molehills.

Laurie, who was going through a divorce and struggling with alcoholism, then finally tried to live life on her terms. However, destiny had other plans for her, and the poor woman again found herself in a mess.

She left her friends behind to have fun with the trio of Valentin, Vlad, and Aleksei by accompanying them to the Muay Thai fight. In an endeavor to feel good about herself, she slept with Aleksei and even told him she would like to show him around New York if he ever visited the US.

However, Aleksei showed his true colors by asking for money from Laurie. He made up a story about his mother being stuck in Russia and tried to persuade her to transfer him $10,000.

Sensing that she was being duped, Laurie decided to run from the scene. The arrival of Aleksei’s girlfriend only made matters worse. Meanwhile, just when she was sneaking out of the place, Laurie noticed the stolen jewelry lying around.

Though she was able to escape the dangerous situation in episode 7, problems might not stop chasing her in the finale. In the final episode of The White Lotus Season 3, a shootout is confirmed to take place.

Considering that Gaitok has gotten to know about the identity of the thieves, he might be going after them. Both sides possessed guns, which could be the reason behind the shootout. Meanwhile, Aleksei knows that Laurie has seen the stolen jewelry at his place.

He and his friends are deadly individuals who likely befriended the trio of ladies for their money. They might try to achieve their goal by hook or by crook. As sleeping around with the women has not worked, the Russian men could resort to violent methods to extract money.

Laurie is at the center of the conflict, as she can not even confide in her friends about what happened to her. Aleksei could come after her to keep her silent about the previous night and extort cash from her. We already know that somebody is going to die in The White Lotus season finale, and Laurie is certainly on the list of potential victims.

The White Lotus Season 3 finale will be aired on HBO and Max on April 6, 2025.
